[Viv is seen sitting on her bed alone in darkness, the only light coming from the tablet, where she is watching Sarah.]

[Sarah was currently hidden on the fourth floor of one of the skyscrapers.]

[It was difficult for her to reach that high, as the stairs were destroyed after the second story.]

[However, Sarah scaled the vines on the side of the building, hoping that no one would even think to follow her and she would be able to remain hidden.]

[Vivienne watched as Sarah ate the bread she had given her in the earlier sponsor.]

[There was a long time where nothing was happening, just Sarah sitting and Vivienne watching.]

[However, there was a sudden rumbling sound that quickly got Vivienne to sit straight.]

[Sarah's eyes widen as she looks around, confused.]

[Suddenly, the whole building started shaking.]

[Sarah, leaving everything behind, started running to the window. However, she quickly realised there was no safe way down.]

[Piece by Piece, parts of the building started to fall.]

[Sarah could be heard saying 'fuck it'.]

[She takes a deep breath and prepares to jump from the building, hoping she doesn't die, but before she can even think to move, a large piece of concrete falls directly onto her body, killing her instantly.]

Everyone stared at the screen in shock, "What the fuck." Rhodey whispered in disbelief. They were honestly shocked. There was no way of her escaping, no chance of her escape; they just dropped a rock onto her, and then she was gone.

Blake knows they did it because she wasn't interesting enough for people to watch. She had zero kills and managed to avoid any encounters, so they just got rid of her. The others, however, didn't know that was a thing, so they were simply stunned.

[The view turns back to Viv, who is staring at the screen in shock as a 'BOOM' sound comes from the tablet.]

[Viv doesn't cry. She doesn't scream. She just stares at the screen in complete shock, honestly not believing what she just witnessed.]

[After a few minutes of being in shock, Viv mindlessly walks to the elevator and presses the button to take her to the penthouse.]

[When she gets to the floor, she knocks on the door.]

[When Haymitch opens the door, he sends her a small smile and allows her to enter the room, leading her to the sofa.]

[He leaves her momentarily; however, he soon reappears holding a bottle of vodka.]

[He passes the bottle over to Viv, who quickly twists off the cap and takes several gulps from the bottle.]

Natasha and Yelena were very proud of Blake's vodka-drinking skills. She may not be Russian; hell, she isn't even human, but that girl could handle her vodka like a true Russian. While Thor was watching the screen, he wondered if Lady Raven would be able to drink some of his Asgardian liquor.

[Haymitch looked at her in shock. He was honestly impressed with the girl's ability to drink vodka like it was water.]

[He then joined her on the sofa and drank from his own bottle of whiskey.]

[The scene changes to a few hours later, where they are both passed out, hugging each other.]

[The scene changes suddenly to Viv sitting on the train, a drink in hand, and her other hand playing with the necklace Sarah gave to her to give to her parents; and that's what she would do.]

[After the several-hour train journey, she leaves the train; however, unlike last year, she is completely alone.]

[She walks slowly through the streets of District 11, people sending her looks of pity as she passes them.]

[Like a repeat of last year, when she had shown up at the Martins' household, she nervously waited outside the door before knocking hesitantly.]

[After a few moments, the front door opens, revealing an older woman who Vivienne assumes is Sarah's mother.]

The group felt sympathy for Blake for this situation, having to visit the parents whose child you tried to protect but failed. No one wanted to have to be the person to do this.

Viv: Hi, are you Mrs. Sower?

Mrs. Sower: That's me.

Viv: I'm sorry for disturbing you. I know you're grieving, but before Sarah went into the Arena, she asked me to give this to you.

[Viv reached up and removed the necklace she hadn't taken off since Sarah had given it to her.]

[She passes it to Mrs. Sower, whose eyes start to tear up at the sight of the necklace.]

Viv: She said she wanted you to give it to her sister – your daughter – when she gets older. She wanted her to have something to remember her by.

[Mrs. Sower nodded at Vivienne, who sent her back a sad smile.]

Viv: I'm really sorry.

Mrs Sower: It's not your fault, dear. I know you did everything you could have.

Viv: Yeah. I'll see you around; don't be a stranger if you ever need anything.

Mrs. Sower: Thank you.

[Viv smiled one more time at the woman before turning around and walking away.]

[In the background, you could see Mrs Sower holding the necklace to her heart while looking at Vivienne with a small smile before turning around and going back into her house.]

[Soon, Vivienne finds herself in front of another door, this one much larger and grander.]

[When the door opens, Seeder is standing there with a small smile and her arms wide open inviting Vivienne in for a hug.]

[Vivienne happily accepts the hug and falls into Seeder's arms.]

[The scene cuts to Vivienne and Seeder sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of tea each.]

Viv: How did you do this for so long?

Seeder: It gets easier, I promise you.

Viv: How long did it take for the pain to lessen then?

Seeder: [Sighs] It took about 10 years before I accepted that it's not my fault when they don't make it out. But it doesn't make it easier; it just makes the guilt lessen.

Viv: I don't think I can do this.

Seeder: You can. I know you can. You are the strongest person I know, Vivienne Blake. And the only person who can't see it is you.

[The scene changes to Vivienne sitting alone on the roof of her house in the Victors' Village, looking over the farms while watching the sunset.]

Viv V.O.: You know, when your name gets called for the Hunger Games, you want one thing. You want to come home. But no one tells you that if you come home, you won't be the same person who had left.

[The voiceover pauses for a moment as she takes a deep breath.]

Viv V.O.: Now that I'm here, I honestly wish I had died in that Arena. There are no true winners in the Hunger Games. You just become a slave to the Capitol; you become a slave to President Snow.
